About this tour
A seven-hour guided tour through Piedmont's most celebrated wine territories, visiting two boutique family estates in the Barolo and Barbaresco zones. Your sommelier host takes you behind cellar doors to taste 5–6 wines at each stop, paired with local cheese and cured meats, then settle into lunch at a neighbourhood wine bar where you choose and pay for your own meal. Hotel pickup included.

- Local sommelier guides you through Piedmont winemaking heritage
- Traditional lunch at a working wine bar, your choice of menu
- Cheese, salami, and bread pairings throughout tastings

What to expect
Your guide collects you from your accommodation and drives into rolling vineyard country. At the first winery, you'll walk through production areas and taste wines while the owner or winemaker explains their methods—expect frank talk about terroir and vintage variation, not marketing polish. You'll nibble whilst tasting. The second estate follows a similar format. Between visits or after, you'll head to lunch at a casual local spot where the menu is yours to navigate; order what appeals and settle the bill separately. This isn't a tour bus experience—it's conversational, unhurried, and built around what genuinely interests the producers.
Good to know
Lunch costs are separate and vary by what you order. The pace suits all fitness levels, though expect some standing and occasional cellar stairs. Prams and strollers are welcome. Service animals permitted. Public transport runs nearby if you prefer other options.
